Stop managing your team
through group chats.

Everything your team needs — scheduling, time tracking, communication — in one place, on any device, from day one.

Sound familiar?

The problem isn't your team.
It's the tools they're using.

The old way
  • Schedules built in spreadsheets — then texted as a screenshot
  • Group chats for every shift swap, callout, and change
  • Paper timesheets tallied by hand each week
  • "Who's working today?" means calling around
  • Payroll calculated manually — typos, missed hours
  • Employees find out about changes from coworkers
With ShiftServer
  • Drag-and-drop builder with templates; publish in one click
  • Swap requests and approvals handled in-app — no noise
  • Digital time clock — hours tracked, overtime flagged automatically
  • Live clock-in feed visible from any device, anywhere
  • Payroll-ready CSV and Sage 50 export
  • Automatic SMS + in-app notification the moment you publish
